Food for Travel



Recommended Posts

I am flying in April to Florida (I like to plan ahead) for a wedding and then going to Disney World for a few days. What foods should I take? Or do I need to take food? I usually don't travel without backup like Protein bars/beef jerky/etc. I haven't been to Disney since I was 5, so can't remember much and things are different now. Any tips/recommendations would be great!

I would definately pack some Protein Bars, shakes and jerkey just in case you have a hard time for some of your meals.

I have not been there in years but what I do remember was overly expensive junk everywhere. This way you can have a few good quality options handy.

I hope you have a great time!

I took a trip to Arizona earlier this year and brought individual packets of powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury Protein powder and Quest Protein Bars with me. I did this mostly because I had a large supply on hand and room in my suitcase.

I was able to buy everything else (Jerky, almonds, etc.) at local stores in Phoenix. As long as you have access to a car in Florida, you should be able to pick up your supplies locally.

I went to Disney World 2 years ago with my mother and daughter. There is lots of junk food everywhere, but there are places where you can get fresh fruit and veggies. For restaurants it depends on where you go to eat. You can look at the menus online before you go and make choices before you get there. We ate at the Beasts castle for lunch on my birthday, and I was able to get the menu online and knew what I wanted before we arrived. I am still pre-op, and my only thought during that vacation was to enjoy myself, so I didn't pay that close attention to the food choices other than to go "Yum!" I would def take some Snacks to back you up between meals.

We go to Disney World frequently. Make sure to take Protein bars as a back up, but there are a lot of healthy options. If you don't like what one place offers, walk 50 feet and you will have all new options. Lots of protein and veggie options.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
